A “nice bump” in performance.
So when does this device become self-aware? And will it recognize its potential for autonomous action?
Sarah Connor, how did you miss this guy?

Ooooooh! Aaaaaaah!
But then he went and messed up that fine con job...
"'A six-core is a big deal … but most desktop software can't really take advantage of dual-core yet, so this means that this chip is aimed directly at servers -- at least until consumer software gets better at multicore threading.'"
...concerning MS operating systems. They'll go really good in some of the Unix systems, though.

I hear six cores is what's going to be necessary to run the next version of winders as well as one or two do now.

"A six-core is a big deal … but most desktop software can't really take advantage of dual-core yet, so this means that this chip is aimed directly at servers -- at least until consumer software gets better at multicore threading." LOL, that should take Microsoft another 200 years, and by then the source code will be several trillion lines long. If you want better performance get more memory, and forget the multicore stuff.
